soeiation and she city Council.

The Board of Managers of the Lee
Monument Association met yesterday
morning, and, after discussing various
subjects, postponed definite action on
them until tomorrow. tits understood
that among other things considered was
the propriety Of securing the services OF
an engineer 10 lay Off the avenue from
Lombardy street to the point in the
Allen lotwhere the circle will be located
in which the monument will go up
also, the letting out by contract OF the
grading and removal of the necessary
earth.
This looks as if the Association will
go ahead and depend upon getting the
money asked for from the city OF Rich-
mond from other quarters.
II will be remembered that Governor
Lee wrote letter to the Council, from
which an extract was published in this
paper on March 9TH. The following Is

Complying non with the instructions OF the
Lee Monument Association, respectfully SUB
nit, In order hat the Council may nave some
distinct proposition upon which 10 take action,
q copy OF a proposed ordinance, which, an
Informed, has been prepared by Mr. otar~c' y

tEat this proposed ordinance eMpOdles me

ments 10 those sections AZ legislative action
will be required. and a. the General Assembly
will soon convene, and "a the time Is rapidly
approaching during which work on tho foun-
dation for such monument can be commenced
and prosecuted. respectfully requssL that tho
Council may take action as promptly a. posi-
BILE upon the propositions horeNlth submitted
by our Association
am, very respectfully,
President Lee Monument Association.
1t will be seen by the above letter
that the Governor asked for prompt ac-
ton. as the time had arrived to go to
work.
This letter was read and filed.
The Council refused to adopt the
Siarke ordinance, which embodied the
views of the Lee Monument Assocla-
ton.
At the last meeting of the Council
Mr.. Owen offered n resolution appro-
priating $4,000 to aid in the erection
OF the Lee monument, provided ii
should be put in one OF the city parks.
| This the Council refused to act on and
laid it over for month.
1t is said the Association will ask the
Legislature to exempt from taxation
the property they will acquire until thu
monument is finished, and for a certain
number of years thereafter.
The position of the City Council
seems to be firm against granting any
appropriation to build the monumen
| on the Allen site but rs the DispatcI
understands it there is no objection t
voting the money if one of the cit.
parks is selected as the site. The Monu
ment Association, however, insists OF
the Allen site. SO the question vii
soon be presented whether on the mer
question of site the city of Richmon,
can refuse to give her help to the build
ing of monument to Il. Il. LEE
To do so will look very strange in tn
ewes Of the outside world, more espe
clally as the monument will be an orna
mcnt to the city, another great attrac
ton for visitors, and ultimately IN
creasing to a great extent the growt
and beauty OF Virginia capital city.

The First Mil for Pony.

w. b. Honeyman, of Portland,
representing a syndicate in that city,
has been negotiating for the erection
OF a 2O-stamp mill on the Fay Tenn
pleton lode on Pony gulch. One Of
the conditions exacted by Mr.. Hon
eyman Is the assurance that not less
than 1000 tons of ore should be In
sight before any contract would be
made for the erection of the machin-
cry. He has just visited the mine
and feels fully satisfied that the re-
quisite amount Of ore Is now visible.
Little doubt remains about the erec-
ton of the mill during the
next month, as other parties
are equally anxious to EN-.
brace the opportunity. A run
of the ore sufficient to satisfy all par
ties will shortly be made by some
custom mill, which cannot fail to
prove the wealth contained In this
much talked OF property.-Murray

features of the place will always be
credit to the Falls. In other cities
of the territory where military COM
panies are In existence the people
extend them some tangible aid and
encouragement and II Is only proper
that the citizens OF Spokane Falls,
always ready to aid worthy objects,
should lend the local company lit.

helping on the soldier boys in their
good work. They haye already been
at great expense purchasing uni
forms and paying rents. All the ex-
pense they will beat now Is hall rent,

ton to the company II the citizens
would join In and contribute suffi-
cient fund at least to pay the rent OF
an arm0ry.

Transportation Company,

Yesterday Nelson Martin brought
in from Medical Lake a boat nine
feet beam by thirty-six feet in
length, that was recently built at
that place by Mr.. Aimsley. The
boat will be taken to POSTS falls
and launched, where steam fixtures
will be attached and 1t will be run
from the falls to the Mission as a
passenger boat. The craft has been
carefully constructed by man who
thoroughly understands boat build
ing. Mr.. Martin has taken Mr..
Aimsley into partnership, and they
propose to carry both passengers and
freight from POSTS falls through to
the Mission, aiming to make daily
trips The new boat is named the
Idaho, and will be used for no other
purpose than carrying passengers.
The Spokane will be put on the line
as freighter, and will tow a barge.
1t will be couple of weeks before
the line will be In operation, but
when 1t starts up the owners propose
to make close connection with the
trains and run on schedule time.

ISOLATION met yesterday afternoon
pursuant to adjournment. There
was q full attendance and a feeling
Of confidence In the success OF the
venture prevailed. The contract for
grading the track was let to Messrs.
Roe & Henderson, and they bind
themselves to complete the work
withiri fifty days. An executive
committee consisting OF a. A. New
berry, J. N. Glover, w. III. Taylor,
Peter Deuber and Col. Jesse Barker
was appointed. j. M. Kinnard was
elected as attorney for the associa-
tion. The trustees decided upon
opening the fair grounds to the pub
lie for the first time on the 4th of
July, when there Will be a number
of races. 1t Is proposed to push the
work and make the grounds he best

will be held during the latter part of
September, the exact date not hav-

An Old Old Game.

Yesterday afternoon two fakirs
worked the town with the watch
racket In great shape. A stranger
to see the population on the street as
they run would not imagine there
were so many suckers in the COM
munity. But men bic yesterday
who had never bit before, and will
probably never bite again. The
game is as rank as a game can be
made, yet the oily.tongued barkers
worked II to a charm. One crowd
was collected on Riverside avenue
and another on Main street, and it IS
question OF some doubt as to which
OF the two contained the greater
number of suckers. The two men
travel together and their net earn
ings yesterday amounted to several
hundred dollars. There is little
sympathy felt for those who paid a
high price for nothing as they in
vested with their eyes open and ex-
pected to make by their purchase.
Another smooth talker could strike
the place a week hence and
find just as many to con.
tribute their hard earned dollars
to help the fakir along. This same
crowd has been working the towns
all along the line from Portland east
ward and have met with the most
flattering success wherever they
have visited.

A Suggestion to the Traveing Pubic.

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find

duences, upon which they can implicitly
rely, since 1t prevents the effects Of vitiat.
ed atmosphere, unaccustomed or un-
wholesome diet, bad water, or other con-
ditiOns unfavOrable to health. On long
voyages or journeys In latitudes adjacent
to the equator, it Is especially useful as
preventative Of the febrile com plants and
disorders OF the stomach. liver and bowels
which are apt to attack natives Of the
temperate zone sojourniDg or travelling In

tection against the influence OF extreme

foundry and machine shops down on
the banks of Hangman creek just at
the foot OF the grade on the Cheney
road. They have a large tract OF
land at that spot and have put up
large, permanent buildings on the
same. The ground In town had
become too valuable for use as shops,
besides they were being cramped for
space. They are now fxed 80 they
can grow without trouble. From
the steady increase Of business that
has marked the career Of the boys
during the past few years, 1t would
be no surprise II in a short time their
shops under the hill would cover
acres OF ground. They deserve
every success that they may be able
to attain In the business which they
follow.
